River cruises in St.Petersburg
BOAT TRIP ALONG THE NEVA RIVER
A relaxing cruise by boat along the main rivers is one of the unique ways to discover St. Petersburg. The city was built on water from the first - on the Neva, its tributaries and distributaries. The historic districts of St. Petersburg are located on a large number of islands in the delta formed by the Neva flowing into the Gulf of Finland, the eastern`most arm of the Baltic. It is not without reason that St. Petersburg has been called the Venice of the North.
The magnificent examples of architecture ensembles, spires leaping heavenwards, churches, cathedrals and monuments seem to harmonise in an astonishing way with the water of the river. The granite embankments with slipways down to the river and bridges linking the banks are vital elements in the city's appearance. During this tour one gets an amazing impression of space. The broad waterway inevitably strikes one as being the main thoroughfare of the city.
BOAT TRIP «ALONG THE RIVERS AND CANALS»
Starting on the Moika river, the tour will take you to see the palaces and mansions on the banks of some of the 66 rivers and canals of this «Northern Venice» - the Winter Palace, Sheremetiev's, Stroganov's, the Marble Palace and Michael's Castle, the spire of Peter and Paul's fortress, Yusupov Palace, and the Mariinsky Theatre. All the St. Petersburg embankments have their own distinctive character. Some are formal and grand. Some along the twisting rivers and canals have a quiet, romantic air. The city gains an exceptional variety and charm from the views that arise at the intersections of its great streets and waterways. This is particularly striking on the main thoroughfare, the Nevsky prospect.
As St. Petersburg was being built, many architectural and engineering decisions were prompted by the nature of the waterways. Many of the St. Petersburg bridges have a very interesting history. On calm days the surfaces of the rivers reflect embankments, the facades of buildings, the arches of the bridges, the patterns of cast-iron railings, and trees.
